Now that I’ve gotten through all my vacation entries, I can finally catch up on more recent stuff. Back in March my family and I spent a day at Niagara Falls to watch Richie Ren in concert. We found out about the concert months before and we were really lucky my mom’s friend managed to get us free tickets.

The cherry blossoms came a few weeks earlier this year after a much milder winter. Last week was my first time visiting High Park after many years of living in Canada. I still remember going to Kariya Park last year with my mom to see the cherry blossoms…
